Text Any textual data included in the document Letter Canton Sept 30th 1880 Dear Bro Edward, I did not forget this morning that it was your birth day and thought of writing to send my good wishes, but as we were finishing breakfast a goodly pile of papers came in from America and they claimed my attention then. I had a letter from Father and one from Sarah and for papers 3 observers and 2 "Christian[--s--] at Work". I always glance over the papers to see if there is any news and then put them away for evenings. This forenoon I have been in my study looking over Dr Happer's translation of 2d Corinthians. We find it needs a good deal of changing. I am just through with the eleventh chapter. Had I written this morning I would have said it was rather a rainy gloomy looking day but it has all cleared off beautifully during the forenoon and now at one- o-clock PM the Sun is shining brightly and everything is as pleasant as can be I hope your whole year will be as bright. I am sorry Sarah is going to lose so much at Columbus. I hope she will not have to work so hard this year as she has had to sometimes. Father wrote that you were ploughing for wheat in the field we used to call the elder field. How long it seems now to look back to the time when Father and you and I with the oxen used to spend days in log rolling in that old field and then ploughed it with two horses and a couple of steers. I remember too the job of corn planting that Frank and Hattie & I once did in that field when Father and Mother were away in New England and we furrowed it out one way and planted it from 9-o-clock A M one day to the evening of the next day. Well my teacher has come back and I must soon [?drag?] my remarks to a close as the preachers say. By the way I preached a little more than a week ago and may get the sermon copied to send home by the time the mail leaves. They are sent rather as an in- dication of my loving thoughts of the dear ones at home than for any intrinsic [?want?]. I do not get worried over a sermon as much as I used to do. I just work away at it as at anything else until I get it done and generally begin so as to have time enough. About the middle of the forenoon I got a note from Hattie saying she had heard from Swaton that Mattie was not at all well. I am sorry to hear it but hope she will be better soon. We that is myself and family expect to go to Lin Chau in about two weeks. Mr & Mrs Sim- mons of the Baptist Mission are also expecting to get a boat and go in company with us. Now good bye for the present Your Aff Bro Henry. [Continued vertically on the first page, written in pencil] PS I intended to write to one of the others but have not time We start for the country Oct 20 so shall not be here for the next mail 坎顿 1880 年 9 月 30 日的信 亲爱的爱德华弟兄， 我没有忘记今天早上是你的生日， 我想写信表达我的美好祝愿， 但是当我们吃完早餐时， 一大堆文件从美国寄来， 他们声称我的那就注意吧。 我收到了一封来自父亲的信和一封来自莎拉的信， 还有 3 封观察员和 2 封“工作中的基督徒”的论文。 我总是翻看报纸， 看看有没有新闻， 然后把它们收起来等晚上。 今天上午我在书房里查看哈珀医生翻译的《哥林多后书》。 我们发现它需要大量的改变。 我刚看完第十一章。 如果我今天早上写的话， 我会说这是一个阴沉的阴雨天， 但在上午， 一切都已经美丽地散去， 现在下午一点， 阳光明媚， 一切都像我一样愉快希望你的一整年都一样光明。 我很抱歉莎拉会在哥伦布失去这么多。 我希望她今年不必像有时那样努力工作。 父亲写道， 你在我们过去称为老田的地里耕种小麦。 现在回首过去， 父亲和你和我带着牛在这片古老的田地里翻滚木头， 然后用两匹马和几头公牛犁地， 现在似乎有多久了。 我也记得当父亲和母亲不在新英格兰时， 弗兰克、海蒂和我曾经在那块地里做的玉米种植工作， 我们以一种方式把它犁出来， 从早上 9 点开始种植到晚上的第二天。 好吧， 我的老师回来了， 我必须尽快像传教士所说的那样结束我的发言。 顺便说一句， 我在一个多星期前讲道， 可能会在邮件离开时把讲道抄下来寄回家。 发送它们是为了表明我对家里亲人的爱意， 而不是出于任何内在的需要。 我不再像以前那样为布道担心了。 我只是像其他任何事情一样努力工作， 直到我完成它并且通常开始以便有足够的时间。 大约在中午的时候， 我收到了海蒂的便条， 说她从斯瓦顿那里听说玛蒂身体不太好。 我很遗憾听到这个消息， 但希望她很快会好起来。 我们是我自己和家人预计将在大约两周后去临州。 浸信会传道部的西蒙斯先生和夫人也希望得到一艘船和我们一起去。 现在再见了你的亨利兄弟。 [在第一页垂直继续，用铅笔写] PS我打算写信给其他人但没有时间我们从10月20日开始前往国家所以下一封邮件不会在这里 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
